Tetris
How to play
Gameplay
Tetris. Seven shapes fall from the top, and horizontally filled rows clear for points. Pieces can be rotated and dropped quickly, and the game ends when the stack reaches the ceiling. High scores come from never leaving a narrow well behind — one vertical gap usually costs an entire piece to fill later.
Controls
The left and right arrows move the piece, up rotates it, down speeds the descent and space drops it to the bottom. Touch screens offer matching buttons. The header shows score, lines cleared and a preview of the next piece, with pause and restart available.
FAQ
Does it keep my high score between sessions?
Yes - the best score is stored locally in your browser, separate from the current run.
How do I play on a touchscreen?
The touch layout shows on-screen buttons matching the keyboard controls: move, rotate, soft drop and hard drop.
